Book 1 Project

Hunger Games is a sci-fi book which is about a futuristic nation which holds annual Hunger Games between twelve districts in which there is a fight to the death on live TV. Katniss and Peeta are originally from district 12 and when they get called to go to the games. They had to go to Capitol first. I think it would be really cool if there was a restaurant based off of the Capitol and the 12 districts. When you first walk in the restaurant, it would be like walking into the future. It would be so different compared to the usual restaurants most people eat at in the U.S. The waitress would be dressed in an extreme costume, as if they are from Capitol. For example, some of the waitresses can look like Effie Trinket or others can dress like Caesar. When people first walk in they are greeted with “Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!”(19) Then, your waitress will give you a seat and you will be placed at a table were you find out what district you are assigned to.The restaurant will be split up into the twelve different districts. So, the tables you sit at is the district you are part of. The table will have your district’s number on it. When you sit down to eat you will be able to order unique food that the main characters ate in the book. You could order one of Katniss’ meals from the book “A thick carrot soup, green salad, lamb chops and mashed potatoes, cheese and fruit, a chocolate cake.” (44) Also, you would be able to order bread and sweets since Peeta came from district 12 and it had a bakery. There will be many different food selections to eat. There will be crazy music playing and there will be TV screens all over with the in restaurant showing clips from the Hunger Games. Also, on the TV screen you will see the game maker randomly talking to you. The game maker might say something random like, “There’s been a rule change in the Games. A rule change… Under the new rule change, both tributes from the same district will be declared winners if they are the last two alive.” (244) You will literally feel like you are at the Capitol and part of district where you are watching the Hunger Games. There will be one big gift shop where you can purchase all kinds of Hunger Games products. The districts will be decorated with the futuristic look of the Capitol within the store. You will be able to purchase certain products from each district. An example is if you are seated in district 12, then you can go into the gift shop and be able to buy unusual rocks and coal because that district is known for mining. Also, from district 12 you could get a mockingjay pen just like Katniss had in the book. Another example of items from the gift shop would be in district 11, where you could find fresh fruit and vegetables because district 11 is known for farming. Additionally, you will be able to purchase t-shirts from all of the 12 different districts to cheer for your favorite district. Also, t-shirts with some of your favorite characters from the book like Peeta, Katniss, Gale, Rue, Cato, and many more would be available. In addition, the gift shop would sell any of the three books from the Hunger Games Series. I feel like this would be a good idea because this is something new and different. A lot of people who don’t read could still enjoy the story line of the Hunger Games series and once they come to this restaurant, they could get interested in reading the book series. It will bring a new experience to all of the current fans as well as create new future fans.
You have a lot of good ideas, Catie! I love all of the little specifics you have (food from specific regions, the interactive TV host, gifts, etc.). And by the way you have chosen to set it up, you give people a reason to come back and try a new menu, seating area, etc. Well done!
